Another response to racism has been the establishment of unlearning racism workshops, which are often led by white women. these workshops are important, yet they tend to focus primarily on cathartic individual psychological personal prejudice without stressing the need for corresponding change in political commitment and action. a woman who attends an unlearning racism workshop and learns to acknowledge that she is racist is no less a threat than one who does not. acknowledgment of racism is significant when it leads to transformation.

We got to face some facts. that the masses are poor, that the masses belong to what you call the lower class, and when i talk about the masses, i'm talking about the white masses, i'm talking about the black masses, and the brown masses, and the yellow masses, too. we've got to face the fact that some people say you fight fire best with fire, but we say you put fire out best with water. we say you don't fight racism with racism. we're gonna fight racism with solidarity. we say you don't fight capitalism with no black capitalism; you fight capitalism with socialism.
